I have mildly wide set eyes, with an intercanthal distance of 36 mm (130% of my eye width). I understand craniofacial surgery would be too extreme for my case in terms of risk v. reward. However, could a small amount of orbital fat be removed near the medial orbital wall to allow the eye globe to "settle" closer to the nose, thus correcting the hypertelorism? The eyelid/canthus positioning could of course be fixed through stapling/ transnasal wiring, I am just wondering about the globe position.
